About our wedding paella catering in Bexley
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. For vow renewals and civil ceremonies and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we can cook canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
London weddings around Bexley frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Bexley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Organising a club, school or community event in Bexley? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
As a London location, Bexley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
